You may have recently imported data from the Classic MSN or my.msn.com  pages to the new MSN.com Money Watchlist/Portfolio and may not have received all of your Watchlist/Portfolio data. The MSN team has resolved the issue and you can now regain access to that information by following the steps below.

Note: These steps only apply if your Watchlist has already been imported and there is data missing. If you have not already imported a Watchlist, please go to the Watchlist, sign in, and you will then be prompted to begin the import. You may need to return to this step if you find that data is missing after your first attempt to import.

Step 1: Create a new Watchlist and delete any Watchlists from previous imports

Step 2: Re-import your existing Watchlist or Portfolio data from MSN.com or my.msn.com into a new Watchlist

Step 3: Clean any erroneous data imported into your new Watchlist(s).

If you need more details about the steps, please go to this article.

If you are still having difficulties or would like to report any errors, please reply to this thread.

Thank you!

    Is it at all possible to retrieve all the transactions without laboriously copying them by hand?

    I do a print screen (Alt and Print Screen pressed at the sametime) of the transaction detail of each individual stock in the old PM.  I then copy (Ctrl and V pressed at the sametime) the print screen into an excel file.  I have a worksheet for each individual stock screen print.  At the bottom of the excel file the worksheets are labeled   BAC  C  COP  DHI  FFIV IBM  etc.

    I think most people are also doing print screens to get the data out.

    Good luck getting your information out by this weekend.

    I was finally able to import my 20+ years of data into the new My Watchlist and it is an unmitigated diaster. The new system is horrible, has very limited funtionality, and completly useless for anyone with a large data base. How can Microsoft be so stupid! I guess they just don't care. Can someone help me as to how to save the database to Excel; not sure i understand how to do it.

    Yes David!! They have an excellent program so they have to change it to a terrible program that you can not even down load. I have worked for days trying to move my portfolio over but nothing works like they say it does.

    Hi fitzVY,

    You can export the data to Excel by clicking on the Print Portfolio button. A table of the data is displayed, select the table (CTRL+A), copy (CTRL+C) and then paste it (CTRL+V) into Excel.

    Hope this answer your question.

    Thanks,

    Adriana

    Adriana,

    I think you are not understanding that copying and pasting the print preview only gets us top-level summary data and not all of our transaction history, which is what we need in order to do the kind of detailed tracking that made us use the msn portfolio in the first place. Please help us get access to the transaction data in some sort of exportable form.

    Yes, David - exactly! They seem to be unclear on the concept here!
